At about 8 a.m. an officer was flagged down by a motel employee on the 12000 block of Central Avenue NE. This was in reference to a stabbing, and the officer found a woman bleeding heavily in the parking lot of the motel.

The officer began lifesaving efforts, and applied two tourniquets to her arm, applying pressure to her stab wounds.

Several other officers arrived on seen, and observed Freddy Granger, 33, covered in blood. They said he fled on foot as soon as he saw them.

Granger was taken to the hospital as a precaution after being struck by a Taser and running into a squad car. Police said they aren't sure if the car ran over Granger, but said there was contact.

He was released from the hospital and booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center, where he is being held without bond. He is facing charges including kidnapping with great bodily harm, attempt to commit first degree felony, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and tampering with evidence.

He is a convicted felon, who has served prison time for a separate violent attack, according to police.

The stabbing victim had surgery Thursday afternoon. She is in serious but stable condition. She sustained at least nine stab wounds all over her body.
